This is another difference between East and West.

The West looks forward to dryness & Summers - for sunshine, travelling, ramance, bar-b-cues, vacations

The East looks forward to rains & winters - clouds, rain for crops, kali ghatta, rainbows, romance, sheer water, lower temperatures, ability to dress up well

At this age, 55 years after throwing the Brits out, you are still dependent on `orrible `industan for monsoon? What is this, oye vey, hud ho gaiee.

Arabian Gulf and Arabian Sea need to be re-configured. Also, Sawan needs to be re-nomenclatured.

There is no justice till then. Can you imagine, EVERY cloud crossing over into Pakistan was first a visitor in India? This is like aapro Clinton nee aapree Begum Elizabeth Sahiba.

...err garamchamak...probably refers to the louder variety of the garaj chamak? and a minor geographical discrepancy creeps into the description when the monsson drifts east to pakistan...ain`t true no more...now it drifts west to reach pakistan. duniya salam is something new for me, hence, no comments.

True. Our civilisation limbo is launched full throttle as soon as the monsoon arrives. But the rains are a blessing anyway. By the way, isn`t the correct word `garaj` chamak?

All praise is for God Who gave us rain so that we may renew ourselves.

Beautiful article, Bina.
